Electronics Manufacturing Company Establishes a Torque Tool Auditing System

Posted by Mountz Torque February 23rd, 2011 0 Comments

An electronics manufacturing company uses torque testers along with benched mounted torque sensors to audit 150+ pneumatic torque tools on a daily basis. Each pneumatic tool has bar-code on it, which identifies the tool. A unique tool test (torque setting and tolerance setting) is set-up for each pneumatic tool and stored inside the PTT torque meter.

The operator scans the pneumatic tool with a bar code reader, and the preset tool test for that individual pneumatic tool is automatically displayed on the PTT torque meter. Using a run down adapter mounted in-line between the tool drive and the BMX torque sensor, the operator checks the torque output for that pneumatic tool. After each run down, the run down adapter should be completely backed-up.

The operator must conduct five run downs with the pneumatic tool. If the operator sees a “green light” displayed on the PTT after each run down, the tool has passed the test and is authorized for use. The torque readings from the test are stored on the PTT. Then the quality manager downloads the data to their network for archiving the test results, which fulfills their ISO procedure.

How to: Perform Torque Tests and Torque Calibrations with a Torque Meter

Posted by Mountz Torque February 9th, 2011 0 Comments

A torque meter is a finely tuned instrument designed for testing and monitoring torque applications. Designed for torque evaluation and verification, a torque meter is a laboratory grade instrument that is commonly used for quality control, R&D and calibration applications.

The PTT torque meter makes ISO 9001 documentation faster and easier. As an advanced torque controlling, monitoring and documentation solution, the torque analyzer enables operators and engineers to ensure product quality, safety and reliability promptly in a variety of manufacturing environments. The portable torque tester features the EZ-Plug & Play technology, which is an auto-recognition system with Mountz torque sensors. The torque meter is designed for measuring torque, torque calibration, joint testing, auditing or for force and load measurement or verification of load cells.

Torque meters can be used to calibrate or test hand screwdrivers, pneumatics screwdrivers, torque wrenches, electric screwdrivers, pulse tools, cordless screwdrivers, torque multipliers and other torque tools. Using a quality torque meter is key for many companies to ensure that the proper torque is being applied. Testing torque is literally a science and not something that can be left to chance.
